Chapter XX.—Another Subject for Discussion
Proposed.
When Simon heard this, he said: “Far
be it from me to become his or your disciple. For I am not
ignorant of what I ought to know; but the inquiries which I made as a
learner were made that I may see if you can prove that actual sight is
more distinct than apparition.1368
| 1368 This passage is
corrupt in the text. Dressel reads, “that activity is more
distinct than apparition.” By activity would be meant,
“acting while one is awake, and in full possession of his
sense;” and thus the meaning would be nearly the same as in our
translation. | But you
spoke according to your own pleasure; you did not prove. And now,
to-morrow I shall come to your opinions in regard to God, whom you
affirmed to be the framer of the world; and in my discussion with you,
I shall show that he is not the highest, nor good, and that your
teacher made the same statements as I now do; and I shall prove that
you have not understood him.” On saying this he went away,
not wishing to listen to what might be said to the propositions which
he had laid down.
